heartwarming dark fairy tale

This is a good growth education film. The parents of the male protagonist and the greedy and ugly pearl eaters have all taken care of the numbness and darkness of the adult world. In the face of darkness, the male protagonist and grandpa made different choices. He chose to lead the children to face it together instead of taking everything alone like grandpa. This allows us to see better possibilities. We can let children use their own superpowers to resist the darkness and fear of the outside world, and grow while maintaining their unique self and precious innocence. Instead of shrinking in a fairy tale world isolated from darkness, always in a protected role.

And the film also has some shortcomings. The first half of the story is too much about the fairy tale world, so that the deep connotation and identity background of the villain and the growth of the children in the later period are not well portrayed. I think this may also be a style of the director. It is particularly spiritual in shaping the fairy tale world, which makes me deeply fascinated by the society in which children can be respected and developed regardless of their personalities. I can't help thinking of ancient times. The Datong society that China dreams of. Sure enough, the world's definitions of beauty and goodness are the same. However, there are gains and losses. The excessive depiction of the fairy tale world makes the film a bit top-heavy, and the conflict between the child and the evil forces in the main show is too little, which affects the expression of the theme.

Overall, the film is a quality film that inspires us to stay true to ourselves in a complex reality, always hot. The transformation of the male protagonist in the later period is also very unforgettable, from the dullness of the previous to the dashing and sharp, the freshness of the youth and the firmness of the adult are intertwined, exuding a charming atmosphere, for this, I just want to say, I can! ! ! Haha back to the topic, this may also be a metaphor of the director, telling us that these lost teenagers should not be disappointed, believe that they have superpowers in themselves, and believe that there is a world full of beauty and fantasy. Maybe one day, I will enter the world, and in the constant struggle, we will polish our heart that has been wasted in the world for a long time. While regaining our original heart, we will grow into a different and powerful adult. I really hope that in the realization of this dream, we can all. In this way, there will never be pearl eaters again, because we are no longer afraid of the passing of time, and we will know that having a good life does not depend on the size of the age, but a childlike innocence and observant eyes to make the ordinary life is radiant. I also believe that the world we live in will surely usher in that beautiful day.
